    <p>short story: Resources, at runtime, use all the references of the project, even if they are not required to run.</p> <p>Long story: I'm writing a .net dll that is used inside Autocad. It's a collection of .net forms. The project of course references some autocad dlls. To help the testing, I decoupled the forms code from the autocad code. So, if I compile the proj as dll, I can use it with autocad; if I compile it as exe the forms load (using mock objects as data). Everything is fine, except when I add an image to my form using the resources:</p> <pre><code>Image img = global::myproj.Properties.Resources.myimage; </code></pre> <p>This leads, at runtime, to this error:</p> <pre><code>System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled Message="Could not load file or assembly 'acmgd, Version=17.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." </code></pre> <p>That dll can't be loaded because we're not in autocad; but it's not required in the "exe" form of the project. In fact, if I remove the image (which obviously has nothing to do with autocad) everything works. It's like the "Resource" part of the project, at runtime, references all the dlls contained in the project... even if they're not used.</p> <p>How can I add an image to my project, without removing the autocad dlls? I'd like the images to be part of the project (that is, inside the dll, not somewhere on disk).</p> <p>BTW: autocad dlls are just an example. I guess I would have the same problem with any other dlls that require the project to be "hosted" in some app.</p> <p>Offending line:</p> <pre><code>pictureBox9.Image = global::MyProj.Properties.Resources.tdb2; </code></pre> <p>Full stack trace:</p> <pre><code>System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled Message="Could not load file or assembly 'acmgd, Version=17.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

    1. COWell. Some code apparently requires this image, even when hosted in the .EXE. You'll have to figure why, maybe a stack trace would help

    2. COMaybe I wasn't clear: my form needs the image. But I don't see why the image needs that dll...

    3. COIt shouldn't if the image is embedded in your dll. A stack trace from the FileNotFoundException would help.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
